FIVE READS: The American Craft Beer Cookbook

Artisan beer (craft beer) is something best served with food—whether as a beverage pairing on the side, or as part of a food recipe. John Holl's collection of 155 recipes in The American Craft Beer Cookbook were contributed by brew pubs, craft brewers, and other beer lovers across the United States. The cookbook will help you create Slow-Cooked Dopple Bock BBQ Meatballs and American Wheat Beer Steamed Clams, as well as unexpected recipes like Crawfish Bordelaise, Chopped Reuben Salad, Beermosas, Beer Ice Cream Floats, and Chocolate Jefferson Stout Cupcakes.
